recently moved from Miles to Helena.
Andrew long has sought this position
and mourned because he got it not. He
will do business in the mourning line at
the old stand for several years to come.
Attorney A. J. Craven expects to be a
dark horse, and although a bright young
man, the fact that he comes from Helena
handicaps him. The people would like
some one outside of Helena, next year
for their representative, and are going to
have one. The third attorney on the
list is Judge H. N. Blake. The judge is
a good man and ought to run well, with

SOME MORE EXAMPLES.


'One singular omission in that new
revenue act," said a gentleman yesterday,
discussing the subject with the Miner
representative, lis that there is no tax
exacted of bankers or brokers in it. That
class of dealers, who arc generally the
richest in the community and best able
to pay a license, are entirely omitted
from mention in a document that is
minute enough to specify laundry shops.
but what is oldest of all in the bungling
instrument is the liquor tax. The re-

IN, ETC., liquors in any quantity less than
one gallon" The wholesale license
reads: every person who shall deal in
etc, liquors in quantities greater than
one gallon" So that you or l can open a

To Fort Ellis Settlers.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-On the 9th
inst. the secretary Of the interior, in the
case of the Fort Boise reservation, de-
cided that land put in reservation in
excess of GAO acres, the amount limited
by law, was illegally reserved, and de-
clared it open to entry and settlement.
Since the PRONUNCIATION of that decision,
and in the belief that the ruling of the
secretary in that case applied to the
Fort Ellis Military reservation in Mon
tana, containing $4,000 acres, a large
number of settlers entered upon and
asserted claims to landin the latter reset

day, in Il letter to the custodian at Fort
Ellis, decides that the law of 1858, limit.
ing military reservations to 64O acres,
applied only to the territory of Oregon
as then constituted its eastern boundaries
being limited by the Rocky Mountains.
and as Fort Ellis is east of that boundary,
it does not come within the purview of
the statute limiting the area of military
reservations. Settlers will be notified
that their claims have no foundation in
law.

we have no hope of its ever being able
to accomplish n preponderance of good.
The governor seems to think that our
new revenue law is very defective, and
we believe he is correct. Meagher coun-
tvs representatives in the Legislature, at
least, help this view of the matter le'
fore the legislature adjourned; but his
excellency's objection 10 the squirrel law
is not strongly taken, and we certainly
think that the call for tie legislature at
such an inopportune time is n serious
mistake. So fur as the revenue law is
